Consideration of the Eastern and Western concepts of education in the aspects of similarities and specifics is connected with the search for holistic knowledge about education that provides people with cultural, educational, spiritual and moral potential, diverse socialization and dignified, non-conflict existence in society of the XXIst century. Methodological basis for understanding the integration process is a thesis about the dialectical unity of education and society. Education has a little chance for successful development without social conditions as well as society cannot progress without educated people that were brought up by integrated system of education that takes into account the best achievements of the Eastern and Western educational experience. Information technologies now bring methodology, training experience, teaching people in schools as a common heritage of all the countries of the world, thereby causing the formation of a unified educational space and the need for philosophical rethinking of educational processes.
